    The issue is that democrats would rather lose elections than make healthcare affordable. It’s not bad strategy, it’s the logical consequence of their interests

      You don’t understand that the majority of americans aren’t willing to pay for any tax increase to pay for public healthcare. As soon as you mention it the media and opposition go off on socialism and taxes and the voters go “Omg! Evil socialism!!”

        USians don’t need to pay for tax increases to pay for public healthcare, USians already pay exceedingly expensive healthcare. Government expenditure doesn’t come from taxes, the federal reserve can literally create money at will at a keystroke. Expropriation of the existing hospitals and clinics by the state would already make healthcare much cheaper than it is, because right now the wealth is siphoned off to rich people and corporations.
